[sdiy] Strobe Tuner

[James Patchell]

I have used the Conn Stobe tuner often....it is a very good piece of 
equipment to use...it makes VCO calibration quick and accurate.  The 
biggest problem in doing a VCO is getting the scaling correct.  I just set 
the Conn to C, and then set the CV voltages from 0 -> 8 to do the tuning.
You never have to touch the tuner...each band corresponds to each octave...
